I might quarrel with some details, but I really like the general notion.
I think we can use this to pass per-syscall syslet data to the scheduler. Today the patches have submission syscalls which basically wrap some data for the scheduler around the syscall ABI. This might save the syslet patches from needing to know about each arch's ABI.
We'll see. I'll give it a try.
